383 240z Posted May 19, 2002 Share Posted May 19, 2002 I'm starting to go broke from this board. That is the only Vette I would buy now it is all to possiable!!!!! Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danj Posted May 19, 2002 Share Posted May 19, 2002 I agree. Some of these posts are just too distracting. I think the 58 Vette has always been my favorite. I believe that's the first year they went to the 4 headlight design. Such a simple sporting look. That's my idea of the pure American sports car. Imagine if someone dropped in a hot 383 like the one featured in the latest Car Craft mag . Of course we would then need a roll bar, which would break up the original smooth lines. Hard to stay on track with my ZX conversion . Dan H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silicone boy Posted May 19, 2002 Share Posted May 19, 2002 Agree about the distracting nature of this board. It's driving me into the poorhouse. I started out with a nice, simple conversion for not that much. Over the past couple of years, I've been talked into gigantic brakes and a killer suspension, EFI, more displacement, and the list goes on. I'm not even going to hit Grumpy's link. It's going to open up a can of worms and make me want to start a new project. A friend of mine has a 67 Vette with an LT-1 conversion. She says she can't drive it because of back surgery and that I can drive it any time I want. I'm hoping that no one tries to talk me into buying it.

Mike C Posted May 19, 2002 Share Posted May 19, 2002 I'm at least half way to my early 'vette swap. I have the 'vette at least. I also have an extra LT1 intake that I plan on modifying ala lt1intake.com with my 355 LT-1. Winning the lotto sure would help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silicone boy Posted May 20, 2002 Share Posted May 20, 2002 Grumpy, I did it, I opened the link like you said to. All I can say is OHMIGOD!!!. You've done it to me. Screw the new T-bird. Screw any Cobra kit car. That thing is a beauty. The price of the kit isn't too bad either, considering everything. Guys, you have to click on the "interior" page. Now, I really don't care what a car looks like on the inside (or outside for that matter), I usually only care how it runs and handles. Did you see that beauty. I wannit!

pparaska Posted May 20, 2002 Share Posted May 20, 2002 Grumpy, you had me ROFL with that one! Great response! Let's see, something like "it's easier to pass a camel through the eye of a needle than to be a rich hotrodder!" Ever since I saw a 53 Vette with C5 underpinnings in one of the hot rod type mags in the past year, I've been thinking, yeah, a light little sweetheart vette body with a 500hp 383 and C5 suspension/brakes would be very cool. And more exclusive than a kit cobra! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
